“…It should be noted that this is one of the first efforts to collect insects in areas of high conservation priority in the CPRS, but especially in the federal conservation units like ESEC Taim. In this location, until now, only the dipteran families Muscidae (Zafalon-Silva, 2013) and Sciomyzidae (Kirst et al ., 2015) had been studied.…”

The natural areas of the Coastal Plain of Rio Grande do Sul (CPRS) have suffered fragmentation due to anthropic action. The faunal surveys offer a low-cost method to quickly evaluate environmental alterations, and Syrphidae flies are often used as models in this kind of study. We aimed to ascertain the diversity of Syrphidae in the South region of Brazil by estimating its species' richness, and to use this data to identify new areas for conservation. In this survey Malaise traps were installed for 8 days in the CPRS, which was divided into five regions. Each region was subdivided into seven collecting areas and each of those areas received four traps, totaling 140 traps. A total of 456 Syrphidae individuals from 18 genera and 49 species were collected. In Region 1, there were nine exclusive species; in Region 2, there were three; in Region 3, there were 13, ten of which came from Estação Ecológica do Taim (ESEC Taim). In the Individual-based rarefaction analysis, Region 1 possessed the largest number of expected species out of the regions in the CPRS; we found 97% of these species. This insect collection effort, as one of the first in the CPRS, has broadened the known geographic distributions of 11 species of Syrphidae, and also indicated areas to be conserved. Additionally, it gave support for expanding ESEC Taim and creating new areas of conservation in Region 1, in Arroio Pelotas and Arroio Corrientes.

“…They are the only family formed almost exclusively by obligate killers of mollusks Knutson 2010, Chapman et al 2012). Within the Diptera, Sciomyzidae is the family of greatest relevance as biocontrol agent of gastropods (Gormally 1988, Maharaj et al 1992, Barker et al 2004, Marinoni and Knutson 2010, Kirst et al 2015.…”

Sciomyzidae (Diptera) has been recorded in several countries of South America, but few species have been found in Uruguay. We report the first record of Sepedonea lindneri (Hendel, 1932) and Protodictya lilloana Steyskal, 1953 (Diptera, Sciomyzidae) from Uruguay. The specimens were collected in rice crops and in adjacent native vegetation with sweep net and vacuum sampler from December to March (2012–2015) in the Eastern region of the country. Photos of collection areas, habitus of adults and distribution map of the species are provided.

“…The Sciomyzidae (Diptera) are a family of acalyptrate flies, commonly known as marsh or snail-killing flies and are considered "true malacophages" (Marinoni and Mathis 2006, Knutson and Vala 2011, Murphy 2014, Kirst et al 2015. The family comprises more than 600 species in approximately 63 genera and occurs worldwide (Marinoni and Knutson 1992, Vala et al 1999, Marinoni et al 2003, Marinoni and Murphy 2016.…”

“…In the Neotropics, sciomyzids are predatory flies of aquatic or semi-aquatic gastropods (Berg and Knutson 1978, Barker et al 2004, Marinoni and Knutson 2010. Some species of aquatic snails are intermediate hosts of vectors that cause disease in humans, such as the fascioliasis and schistosomiasis, and snail-killing flies are potentially useful in applied ecology and as biocontrol agents of these gastropods (Gormally 1988, Maharaj et al 1992, Barker et al 2004, Marinoni and Knutson 2010, Kirst et al 2015.…”

We document the geographical distribution of 6 species of Sciomyzidae from the Pantanal biome of Brazil. The species were collected in aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats from Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Sepedomerus bipuncticeps (Malloch, 1933) and Sepedonea canabravana Knutson & Bredt, 1976 are new records from Mato Grosso and Sepedonea lindneri (Hendel, 1932), Sepedonea telson (Steyskal, 1951), Sepedonea veredae Freidberg, 1991, and Thecomyia limbata (Wiedemann, 1819) from Mato Grosso do Sul. Photographs of collection areas, the habitus of adults, and a distribution map of the species are provided.
